Goal:
Prioritize your organization's current risks and vulnerabilities and scope a project to bring your readiness capability to an acceptable level.  DSPN’s expertise identifies gaps caused by current external, internal, natural, or man-made hazards, as well as hidden operational and financial risks that have the potential to put you “out of business”.  Using our knowledge of best practices in the industry, we then define the parameters of a project to reduce your exposure to an acceptable level.

Deliverables:

• Review your current life safety and damage assessment plans.
• Review your current business continuity/recovery documents.
• Conduct an on-site visit to key locations and interview the appropriate executive oversight group.
• Interview facilities managers, emergency response representatives, and key business unit managers.
• Perform a walk-through of key facilities to detect physical elements of vulnerability.
• Prepare a Business Impact Analysis (BIA) based on the above activities.
• Prepare a sequencing chart and timeline of activities needed to document, implement, and test the overall program.
• Prepare a Hazards Assessment Report based on DSPN research to uncover hidden external hazards. This report focuses on man-made and natural hazards in your geographical area.
• Document areas where you may need further consulting assistance (including cost estimates) during program development.
• Identify and document additional areas of expense you may encounter as you develop your plan (e.g. emergency supplies, vital record protection, systems recovery strategy).
• Prepare an Overall Assessment Report including all items detailed above.
